Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 53: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain [Seeking monthly ticket]

"Captain Jiang, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Cao Shaoqin, Jia Ting and others all stared at Jiang Xuan coldly.

They were all skilled in martial arts, so they could naturally see that Jiang Xuan intended to let the man in black escape.

Otherwise, with the strength he showed in his first strike, it would not take more than ten rounds for him to kill the man in black, and the latter would not even have a chance to escape.

However, facing the questioning, Jiang Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

He came before Cao Shaoqin, bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I have found out that this person is not Zhou Huaian."

"Since my father-in-law's target is Zhou Huaian, it would be useless to just capture this gang of bandits. That's why I dared to let her escape. Now we just need to follow this group of people closely. We will definitely find Zhou Huaian and catch this group of rebels in one fell swoop!"

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At this moment, Cao Tian, ​​Xu Longqing and others also led their men back, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Cao Tian was furious. He glanced at Jiang Xuan beside him, then dismounted and bowed, saying, "Master, Jiang Xuan is so audacious that he let Zhou Huaian escape without permission. He must not be let off!"

Cao Shaoqin ignored him, still looking at Jiang Xuan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked: "How can you be sure that he is not Zhou Huaian?"

Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Zhou Huaian came from the military, he definitely doesn't have this kind of martial arts."

Cao Tian sneered: "You say it's not, so it's not?"

Jiang Xuan said solemnly, "I dare not deceive you, sir. If you don't believe me, I will bring her back immediately and verify her identity!"

Cao Shaoqin looked at Jiang Xuan deeply for a moment, then said calmly, "No need."

"You are a smart dog. You know how to use your brain."

"Okay, since you are so sure, then go and follow them yourself. If you can't find Zhou Huaian, you are the only one I will ask!"

Jiang Xuan's face remained calm as he bowed and said, "I obey your orders."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at Xu Longqing and the others. Seeing that the team that originally had more than 50 people was now reduced to less than two-thirds, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his murderous intent towards Cao Shaoqin became even stronger.

Then, shaking his head, Jiang Xuan looked at Ding Xiu in the crowd and ordered, "Ding Xiu, follow me. The others stay and follow the instructions of the father-in-law."

"Yes!"

Xu Longqing and others bowed solemnly.

Ding Xiu walked out of the crowd carrying a knife and stood behind Jiang Xuan.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at him without paying much attention. He stretched out his index finger and waved forward, saying, "Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, you two go with him. If you find Zhou Huaian's whereabouts, report immediately."

"Yes, boss."

Jia Ting and Lu Xiaochuan walked out and saluted.

Jiang Xuan knew that Cao Shaoqin was still on guard, so he didn't say much. He just bowed and said, "I'll go first."

"Go."

Cao Shaoqin waved his hand.

Jiang Xuan and the others didn't say much. They mounted their horses and chased in the direction where Qiu Moyan and the others fled.

Watching them leave, Cao Tian was still unwilling to give up. He stepped forward and leaned over and said, "Boss, even if what he said is true, he dared to disregard your orders and act on his own. He deserves to die!"

Cao Shaoqin waved his hand and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. As long as he has the ability to find Zhou Huaian, I can let it go. If he can't find him, I will deal with him myself."

"Yes, the boss is wise, and this kid is lucky." Cao Tian retreated unwillingly.

At this time, Cao Shaoqin raised his eyebrows and looked back in the direction he came from. He saw a fast horse galloping towards him. It was actually a spy from the East Factory.

"Commander, the three armies have been deployed as ordered."

The spy dismounted and reported, "Also, I've received news that Zhou Huaian has appeared in the Yunzhou area and assassinated several officials affiliated with our East Factory."

Cao Shaoqin frowned: "Yunzhou Prefecture?"

Cao Tian whispered, "Boss, this is probably Zhou Huaian's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Hmph!" Cao Shaoqin snorted coldly and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me the map!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers immediately brought out the map and spread it out in front of Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at the terrain, then pointed to the center of the map and said, "Shasaowei is a major thoroughfare, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Chang Yanxiao, you lead the Jinyiwei to seal this exit."

"Yes, sir!" A young man walked out and bowed solemnly.

Cao Shaoqin pointed to the northwest of the map and continued, "The Yumen Pass is steep and difficult for a large army to pass through. Send two teams of cavalry to guard each mountain pass."

"To the southwest is Longmen Pass, a key route out of the country. Order the garrison troops to seal the pass immediately."

"Go west along the riverbed and seal off all border checkpoints."

Cao Shaoqin's expression was icy, his eyes filled with arrogance and confidence: "Are you trying to trick me into leaving the tiger behind?"

"I will catch them all in one fell swoop!"

……

at the same time.

After Qiu Moyan and his group escaped from their pursuers, they stopped on a hill to rest for a while and check the map.

Qiu Moyan leaned over and pointed to the southwest corner of the map, saying, "This is Longmen Pass. I've already agreed with Zhou Huaian to meet up at the Longmen Inn."

Tie Zhu, the second in command of the bandits, looked grave and said, "Miss Qiu, we have two children with us, and the Dongchang soldiers are chasing us. I think we should take the small path on the top of Tianlong Mountain."

Qiu Moyan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's do as you say."

"It's almost time, let's go!"

At this time, the boss He Hu came over to put out the fire and said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded, then cleared the traces left on the ground, took Yang Yuxuan's children and mounted their horses again, galloping towards the southwest.

Before leaving, Qiu Moyan seemed to have thought of something and looked back in the direction he came from with a complicated look in his eyes.

Then she sighed softly, shook her head, and rode her horse to follow.

……

Not long after everyone left, four fast horses came galloping over. It was Jiang Xuan and others.

Looking at the several forks in the road ahead, Jiang Xuan turned around and asked, "Eunuch Jia, which way do you think we should go?"

Jia Ting raised his eyebrows and said in a gentle and unhurried tone, "Master Jiang, the boss only asked us to assist you. We don't care how to find people or how to get there. You have the final say."

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, then raised his eyes and looked around, saying, "Then go left."

Jia Ting narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Jiang, do you mean they will go towards Longmen Pass?"

Didn't you say you don't care? Damn eunuch!

Jiang Xuan cursed inwardly, but remained expressionless. He nodded and said, "We're heading west towards Shasaowei. It's surrounded by mountains on both sides, with only one main road leading out. Once we seal the exit, they'll have nowhere to escape."

"While Yumen Pass to the northwest is sparsely populated, every strategic point is guarded by garrisons. They're carrying two children, so they'll be too conspicuous. If their whereabouts are exposed and they're surrounded on the mountain, they'll surely die."

"As for Longmen Pass in the southwest, the terrain here is flat, and many caravans and travelers choose to enter and exit the checkpoint. It's a mixed crowd, making it a great place to hide your identity."

"So their only option is Longmen Pass."

Listening to Jiang Xuan's analysis, Jia Ting and Lu Xiaochuan beside him couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.

Immediately, Jia Ting's eyes flashed with admiration, and he said, "Master Jiang is indeed extremely intelligent and promising young man. It seems that this time these rebels will have no chance of escaping."

"Mr. Jia, thank you for your praise." Jiang Xuan's expression was calm.

Jia Ting nodded and said, "Then I'll follow your instructions and go to the left."

After saying that, he took Lu Xiaochuan and rode his horse to the left fork in the road.

Jiang Xuan turned his head to look in the direction they came from, his eyes cold. Then he turned around and followed Ding Xiu without saying a word.
